A&P/Microbiology.. Help!!!!!

Nursing Students General Students

Published

Hello everyone!! So I took Anatomy and Physiology last semester and I ended up withdrawing from the class because I was having a hard time learning the material because the professor was reading off the slides. So I'm planning on retaking it next semester Spring 2019 with a new professor of course, and if anyone has any good tips on how to pass with an A please let me know! (Nursing program at my university is soooooo competitive) I'll also be taking Microbiology and 3 other classes.

Yes I'll definitely be using quizlet because it helps me a lot and flash cards as well! Do you recommend any specific YouTuber who posts about A&P? Yeah I definitely need to learn how to self teach because professors don't help at times!

Crash Course A&P is a good overview. Khan Academy has loads of videos on specific information and I used it a lot. Armando Hasudugan explains things well, and I liked the diagrams he draws. I've seen that RegisteredNurseRN has some A&P videos but I'm not sure how many she has and how in-depth since I've really only watched her more nursing subject videos. But those are good so I assume her A&P is also good and would probably focus more on what you need to know for nursing school.

Watch the Wendy Riggs videos on YouTube!

Human anatomy atlas 2019 complete 3d human body app. Is a great source, interactive has quizzes can go by systems, physiology run downs ect.

They will let you take A&P and Micro at the same time? In my program, we had to have finished A&P 2 with a C or better (but realistically an A to get in the RN program), before we could take Micro. Just curious.

Yes we can take it at the same time!

I would be cautious of taking a&p 2 and micro at the same time. Micro was by far my favorite but its a beast

Seriously?? I heard micro was easier then A&P ugh yikes!Lol I might take it in the summer though and take an elective instead of micro

I took Micro and A&P together and it was not as bad as I thought. Micro is easy if you have a good background from general bio. My Miro professor was horrible and a tough grader, but I ended up with an A just because I had a good background in general bio.

A&P 1 is mostly memorization; not hard at all, just study everyday. A&PII is very interesting but it really depends on how your professor teaches physiology. Mine was amazing. I didn't have hard time getting A in AP II.

for all these courses the key is to study almost everyday and don't procrastinate.

Good Luck

I quizzed myself over and over with free online quizzes. It's not just lecture, the lab tests are harder than the ones for lecture. There are quite a few decent apps that help with testing yourself with muscles and bones. I can't remember what they were exactly since it was a few years ago. It's a shame you don't have a text since mine had a lot of online adaptive learning. You really need to figure out what works since it's a ton of memorization.

Best of luck to you.

Micro... What I have to say about that class is unprintable. I don't recommend doing that in a short semester. I had it in a traditional semester and was stupid enough to take A&P II at the same time. I thought since I handled Chemistry with a lab with A&P I it wouldn't be that bad. I was so wrong.

Try looking up mnemonics for difficult to remember things. Pinterest has many of them or you could make your own,

Yes I agree lab was harder then the lecture itself, I used a lot of index cards for lab so that helped me a lot. I'll be buying the textbook next semester so it can help me. I really want to make an A or B but nothing lower.

Thanks!
